Saturday, June 13 is the Dedication Ceremony for the newly opened Maggie Daley Park in downtown Chicago. Premiering at the event will be a new work by University Professor of Composition Augusta Read Thomas, who was commissioned by the City to compose a piece honoring Mrs. Daley's legacy of supporting children in Chicago.

The piece, entitled In Celebration of Maggie Daley Park: Wonderful Things! Tomorrow Sings with Hope, will be performed by a youth choir made up of 500 children from all corners of our city, accompanied by Third Coast Percussion.
